Very nice tour - We took this tour from our cruise ship in Melbourne. Our guide, Elena, met us at the appointed time in a comfortable SUV. We drove through the outskirts of Melbourne, making several stops for views and photos. We briefly visited both the Botanical Garden and Fitzroy Garden before parking and taking a walk downtown. We saw the graffiti streets and a couple of shopping arcades. Elena was great and pointed out many historical sites. At the end, she drove us to the Queen Victoria Market, where we continued our day. We had a nice time with Elena and would highly recommend this tour.

Incredible 1/2 Day Tour of Melbourne - Our 1/2 day tour of Melbourne far exceeded our expectations. Our guide, Elena, was just a wealth of knowledge. She drove us all over in her immaculate car and we were able to do and see even more than we had originally planned. I would 100% recommend this for anyone visiting. It was a great experience filled with tons of information, laughs, pictures and May sights that we likely wouldn’t have had time to see otherwise. 10 out of 10

The best tour guide you can ask for - Ben was the best tour guide we have ever had. Having visited over 60 countries, I do not use that statement lightly but he went above and beyond. We only had a half day tour but we wish we had spent longer. Ben picked us up in a bus and gave a whistle stop tour. We visited downtown, Fitzroy Gardens, Albert Park and St Kilda amongst other places. We were so impressed by Bens knowledge of the culture and history.

A must to get started exploring Melbourne. - Getter than exceptional. In 4 hours we learned so much about Melbourne that we started to feel at home. This is an overview of the city from the architecture to the history and art. Even the graffiti on the alleyway where we found a small signature by Banksy. I would strongly recommend this tour to set up the framework of what to spend time later in the day exploring.
